Safe T Plus Steering Stabilizers for Forest River Motorhomes
Safe T Plus steering stabilizers help Forest River motorhomes feel more confident on the highway by adding a self-centering force to the steering linkage. Whether you drive a Berkshire on a Freightliner XC chassis, a Forester or Sunseeker on a Ford E-450, or a Georgetown Class A, the right stabilizer can cut down on wander, fighting the wheel, and white-knuckle driving in wind or traffic.
How to Use the Forest River Fitment Chart
- Start with your model and year range: Find your Forest River coach (Berkshire, Charleston, Forester, Sunseeker, Georgetown, FR3, Legacy, etc.) and match the correct year range.
- Confirm the chassis and front axle type: Look at the chassis column (Freightliner XC, Ford E-450, Chevy Express 4500, Workhorse UFO, Spartan, etc.) to be sure you’re on the right row.
- Note the stabilizer and mounting kit: The table lists the correct Safe T Plus steering control and the specific mounting hardware kit needed for that chassis.
- Watch for special notes: Some Freightliner and XCS applications depend on tie-rod diameter. If your measurements don’t match what’s listed, contact us before ordering.
- Sprinter and Transit coaches: Many Sprinter and some Transit chassis cannot accept a Safe T Plus unit, which is why those rows are marked N/A.
Why Forest River Owners Install Safe T Plus
- Improved straight-line tracking: Helps the coach return to center instead of constantly drifting with road crown or grooves.
- Less steering correction: Reduces sawing at the wheel on long interstate runs, especially in crosswinds and truck wash.
- Added safety margin: Provides additional control if a front tire loses pressure or the coach hits an unexpected rut or shoulder.
- More relaxed driving: Many Forest River owners report arriving less fatigued after upgrading the steering control on older E-450 and XC chassis.
Installation Tips for Forest River Chassis
- Use the correct mounting kit: The stabilizer will only perform properly when installed with the matching hardware kit for your specific chassis and tie-rod size.
- Center on a level road: After installation, adjust the Safe T Plus so the coach tracks straight on a level road with no crosswind, then lock it down.
- Inspect front-end components: Check ball joints, drag link ends, tie-rod ends, and bushings. Worn steering parts should be replaced so the stabilizer isn’t masking mechanical issues.
- Consider alignment: If your Forest River already drives straight with even tire wear, an alignment isn’t always required, but it’s recommended anytime steering parts are replaced.
FAQs
Will Safe T Plus fix all of my steering problems?
Safe T Plus can make a noticeable difference in wander and tracking, especially on older Ford E-Series and Freightliner XC chassis, but it can’t correct worn components or badly out-of-spec alignment. Think of it as an upgrade that works best on a solid, well-maintained front end.
How do I know I picked the right kit for my Forest River?
If you matched the model, year range, and chassis from the chart, you’re usually good to go. When in doubt—especially on coaches with notes about tie-rod diameter—call or text 1-954-202-6229 with your VIN and front-end measurements and we’ll confirm the correct stabilizer and hardware kit.
